How to publish applications, saved in a network share.

Instructions

An application from a network location can be published by adding the path as: \\ServerNameorIP\PathToTheApplication\ApplicationName.exe.
However, this will fail to launch as the Delivery group will have no access to the path.

This can be resolved by following below steps:
1) Ensure that the VDA has access to the network path by manually mapping to the location from the VDA.
2) Add the VDA to a new machine catalog.
3) Create a new Delivery Group and add the application manually from the Network location.
4) The path to the application will not be a network path after completing this step
5) Edit the application properties and added the network path to the application again in the format: \\ServerNameorIP\PathToTheApplication\ApplicationName.exe.
6) Add the Working Directory: \\ServerNameorIP\PathToTheApplication
